"How come Meteor exploded into rainbows?" asked Kefka when Sephiroth returned.

"Rainbow Dash smashed into it at the speed of sound," said Sephiroth. "Meteor's gone. Rainbow survived unharmed."

"Unbelievable," said the Emperor. "How could Sephiroth, the mighty One-Winged Angel, be defeated by a prissy pony?"

"She is extremely fast," said Sephiroth. "And I did warn you not to underestimate them."

"So what do we do now?" said Kefka.

"There is one more procedure we can do. Together the four of us can use our power to create a pit of electricity just outside our tower."

"I was looking into that while you were gone," said the Emperor. "Once it reaches full power, it will drain all energy from every being in this world and beam it to us."

"Turning us into GODS!" said Kefka.

"And we'll rule over anyone that survives," said Exdeath.

"Then let's get after it," said Sephiroth. "With the four of us working together, it shouldn't take long."

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Silverstream returned to the Fire Crystal.

"Meteor is gone," said the Fire Crystal. "But Sephiroth and his allies are working on a device at their lair that will drain power from everyone and give it to them. If they succeed, they will become gods, and no one will be able to stand up to them."

"So, where's their evil lair?" said Rainbow Dash.

"On a large island in the center of the four quadrants," said the Fire Crystal.

"I suspected as much," said Sunset. "Do you think we're ready to face them?"

"You will be once we bestow our power upon you," said the Fire Crystal. The Wind, Earth, and Water Crystals appeared in astral form and they powered up Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Silverstream with their light. "Now your attacks are more powerful. Especially your tailwhips. This powerup is only good in this realm. When you return to your worlds, you will be exactly as you were before coming here."

"Oh yeah!" said Rainbow Dash. "Now let's defeat these bad guys and save this world!"

On the second floor of their tower, the villains looked out the window at the completed pit of energy.

"Exdeath, what's the power?" Sephiroth asked.

"12%," said Exdeath.

"This thing is slower than lame turtles," said the Emperor.

"Boring!" said Kefka. "I wanna destroy something!"

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Silverstream entered. Sunset de-transformed for the moment.

"I figured you'd get here before we were at full power," said Sephiroth. "Kefka, looks like you'll be able to entertain yourself while we wait. It is time to eliminate the Warriors of Light... once and for all. Exdeath."

Exdeath cast his Reflect Ring magnet spell, pulling the Reflect Rings to him. He stomped on them and crushed them all.

"Oh no, our Reflect Rings," said Fluttershy.

"We don't need them to beat these guys," said Rainbow Dash.

"I almost want to fight Rainbow Dash, but I wouldn't mind having a rematch with Sunset," said Sephiroth.

"Fluttershy and I have a score to settle," said Exdeath.

"Silverstream is the most energetic," said Kefka. "She'll be fun to fight. And it'll be fun to hear her scream when I crush her! We'll see just how silver her bloodstream is!"

"That leaves you and Rainbow Dash, Emperor," said Sephiroth.

"Put me against Sunset or Silverstream," said the Emperor. "Rainbow Dash is a pony, an insect unworthy of even being crushed under my feet. Even compared to them, who I am far above."

"What was that?" said Rainbow Dash.

"You heard me, insect," said the Emperor.

Rainbow Dash tackled the Emperor, smashing him through the wall of the room they were in. Sunset ponied up and Sephiroth manifested his wing, and they flew out the window, swordfighting in the air. Silverstream flew at Kefka and they started fighting, almost dancing, slowly scaling the stairs of the tower, which was 35 floors high. Silverstream felt energized by the presence of stairs and was evenly matched with the mad clown.

As Sunset and Sephiroth flew at each other, swinging their swords, occasionally keeping their blades locked for a few seconds, it started to rain.

"This reminds me of that time I slayed a dragon," said Sephiroth. "It didn't put up much of a fight. I must say, you are a more worthy opponent. But you will still fall before me, and I will rule over this world as its god."

"I will keep fighting until you go down!" said Sunset. She blasted Sephiroth in the face with a magic beam. Sephiroth was forced backwards a bit, then swung his wing at Sunset. She dodged, getting scratched in the face. "His wing's as sharp as his sword," she noted to herself.

Fluttershy and Exdeath faced each other in the second floor of the tower.

"Are you sure you don't want to stop being evil?" said Fluttershy.

"I am not as soft as the traitor Gilgamesh," said Exdeath. "I will destroy you. And when I am a god, in a form I shall call Neo Exdeath, I shall consume every inch of your world and slaughter all ponies."

"You MEANIE!" Fluttershy gave Exdeath a Flutterkick to the gut. Then she whipped him in the face with her tail. Exdeath went flying into the wall, which cracked slightly. But he got up and brushed himself off.

"So, you're more than just cuteness," said Exdeath. "You do have some fight in you. But you are no match for me." Exdeath blasted Fluttershy to the ground.

Fluttershy lay for a few seconds but stood up, facing him looking as determined as Rainbow Dash. She would not stand for such a vile villain as him threatening her world or any other.

"I am the ultimate evil tree of darkness," said Exdeath.

"A tree?" said Fluttershy. "You know... there was a time I wanted to be a tree. I even used a tree disguise when trying to get out of making a tornado to get water to Cloudsdale. But then something horrible almost happened. Both me and someone I know almost died and became trees which would've done the same to so many other ponies, maybe even caused a terrible pandemic throughout Equestria if I hadn't found the cure. So I don't want to be a tree anymore."

"Sounds like the reverse of me," said Exdeath. "I was once a tree in the Forest of Moore, until evil spirits were sealed inside it, turning it into me, a fusion of all these evil spirits. If I ever figure out what it was that almost turned you into a tree, I'll make sure..."

Suddenly Gilgamesh entered. "I'm here to help!" he said. "I'd look like a total jerk if I didn't show up for the final battle!"

"You!" said Exdeath. "When I'm through with Fluttershy, you're next!"

"Fluttershy!" said Gilgamesh. "Your kindness showed me the way. But all you need to defeat this guy is your cuteness!"

At being called cute, Fluttershy blushed with an adorable smile on her face.

Exdeath trembled at the sight. "Too cute... I can't take it... cuteness overload..." His dark heart was dissolved completely. Glowing cracks appeared on Exdeath, rays of light shone from him, and he exploded in a flash of light.

"Oh my, I didn't know too much cuteness could do that," said Fluttershy.

"Only for anypony as evil as Exdeath with no appreciation for cuteness," said Gilgamesh. "It won't have that effect on Rainbow Dash or Sunset or anyone like that. And you already saw what effect it had on me. Can I brush your tail?"

"Yes."

Gilgamesh brushed Fluttershy's tail.

Outside on ground level, the Emperor raised his staff and shot an energy wave at Rainbow Dash, but she dodged in midair. The Emperor continued to fire repeated energy waves at her, but she was too fast for him.

"Stay still so I can blast you!" said the Emperor, frustrated that one pony could cause him so much trouble.

"No thank you!" said Rainbow Dash. She dodged his next energy wave and kicked him in the face.

"You'll pay for that, insect!" The Emperor swung his staff at her, but she zoomed behind him and whipped him in the back with her tail. The Emperor fell to his knees with his hands on the ground. He got back up and continued to try to attack Rainbow Dash, but she kept dodging, and in between dodges she would kick him and tailwhip him.

Until, the Emperor anticipated Rainbow's next tailwhip, and grabbed her tail before it could connect with him.

"No pony is a match for an emperor," the Emperor said. He threw Rainbow Dash into the air as hard as he could. She went flying high up and vanished from view. "I must have thrown her into space," said the Emperor. "For an insect she was sure annoying. She was like a mosquito. I wasn't expecting her to bite so hard."

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash came back into view. And she was flying directly at the Emperor with her hooves in front of her, at an incredibly fast speed.

"Oh crap," said the Emperor. In that moment, he knew this so-called insect would spell his certain doom.

There was a rainbow mushroom cloud on impact. When the smoke cleared, Rainbow stood in the middle of a crater. There wasn't a shred of the Emperor left.

Silverstream and Kefka were now fighting at the top of the tower. Kefka grabbed her by the throat and held her to the edge. She looked down. At 35 floors up, the fall looked like it could be fatal. "That'd be a good place not to fall," she said.

"Good idea!" Kefka threw Silverstream over the edge. He was just doing a victory dance when she flew back up.

"Did you forget about my wings?"

"Oh, I won't forget them!" said Kefka. "I won't forget the TASTE of them when I barbecue them as a victory meal! Once I've taken all the magic from this land I'll be all-powerful! I'll even be able to move the sun and moon! I'll have so much fun with this! Time's really gonna fly! And so am I! Hahahaha!"

"You remind me of the Storm King," said Silverstream. Goofy, insane, and pure evil. Not only had the hippogriffs lived in fear of him for all her life, but he had also killed her uncle. Even after the Storm King's demise she had feared his return. But she knew he was gone for good. And if she could stand up to an illusion of him and overcome her fear, she could defeat this clown.

"Why, coz we're in a storm and I'm a king?" said Kefka. "Or did he try to take your world too? Well, when I become a god here, I will succeed where he failed! And any town that opposes me in this or any other land... they'll fall to my Light of Judgment! Hahahaha!"

"You'll never take over any land ever again!" Silverstream flew at Kefka. Kefka threw a poisoned dagger at her but she dodged, and whipped Kefka in the face with her tail.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" Kefka cried as he fell 35 floors down to his doom.

Sunset and Sephiroth continued to fight in the most intense battle of the four. Neither showed any signs of growing tired. Occasionally they'd blast each other with an energy wave. The One-Winged Angel song was playing in the background.

"I should be reaching full power any minute now," said Sephiroth. "Soon I will become the true One-Winged Angel."

"I'll stop you and your device!" said Sunset.

"You're a formidable opponent. But you have no idea who you're dealing with."

They fought for a bit more, and then Sephiroth disarmed Sunset.

"Chew on this, Sephiroth!" Rainbow Dash flew at Sephiroth.

"So, she has defeated the Emperor?" said Sephiroth. "I almost wish I could see the look on his face. Pale Horse." He blasted Rainbow Dash with a blue energy wave, and in an instant she was turned into a frog. Without wings, Rainbow Dash fell, but Fluttershy caught her.

Rainbow Dash tried to say "Nice catch", but all that came out was "Ribbit." But Fluttershy understood her.

"As fun as our duel has been, it's time for this to end," said Sephiroth. He raised his hand. "Shadow Fla..."

Suddenly he received a sharp blow to the back. Silverstream had tailwhipped Sephiroth. Any regular opponent she might have broken his spine. But Sephiroth, while still feeling pain, withstood it. He grabbed Silverstream's tail and threw her towards the ground. She caught herself in midair at the last second, and looked back up at Sunset and Sephiroth.

"I shall finish you quickly," said Sephiroth. "Goodbye, Sunset Shimmer." He raised his sword and thrust it forward.

Sunset flew over Sephiroth so that she was behind him and blasted his wing. Sephiroth was thrown off balance, and then Sunset whipped his wing with her tail. This damaged his wing to the point that he could no longer fly. Sephiroth plunged from the sky, unable to move his wing.

"Curse you, Sunset!" said Sephiroth as he fell. "I... will never be a memory."

Sephiroth fell into the pit of electricity that he had intended to turn him into a god. In an explosion of dark purple energy, the One-Winged Angel was vaporized completely.

Fluttershy had just set Rainbow Dash down when she returned to pegasus form. Then the four Warriors of Light rushed over to the pit of electricity. Its power was at 90%.

"Sephiroth and the other villains are gone, but if this reaches full power it will still drain everyone in this world of all their energy," said Sunset. "We're not even sure how many would survive."

"I don't think I can Rain Nuke that," said Rainbow Dash.

"We could try the selfdestruct button," said Silverstream.

Sunset noticed the button. "Why do they even... Well, that works out for us." Sunset pressed the selfdestruct button, then she and the others flew away as fast as they could. Both the pit and the base exploded. As soon as the smoke cleared, the rain stopped.

The crystals appeared in astral form.

"Well done, Warriors of Light," said the Fire Crystal. "You have saved this world from a terrible fate."

"None shall ever forget this," said the Earth Crystal.

"This world will know peace and prosperity for generations to come," said the Water Crystal.

"You will now be returned to your worlds at the exact point in which you left," said the Wind Crystal.

"Will we remember this epic adventure?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"You will," said the Wind Crystal.

"Can I go too?" asked Gilgamesh. "A world of ponies sounds awesome!"

"If that is what you wish," said the Earth Crystal.

"Maybe I could introduce you to Discord sometime," said Fluttershy.

"Farewell, Warriors of Light," said the Wind Crystal. And in a flash of light, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Silverstream, and Gilgamesh were transported to Equestria, and Sunset to the Equestria Girls world.

Author's Note

No, the Emperor won't return from hell, nor Sephiroth in spirit form.

And I was a bit iffy about referencing the tree thing with Fluttershy. But I still couldn't resist it seeing Exdeath was originally a tree.
